Classification of dangerous goods and their (ADR) labels.

 Dangerous goods are classified into nine types of risks, which do not correspond with their danger degree but is a conventional order.
Classes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6, are subdivided into Divisions expressed through two-digit numbers, separated by a dot or a comma; the first number identifies to the Class and the second, the variation within that Class (ex: Oxidizing is Class 5, Division 1, and is expressed as "Division 5.1 ").
The relative degree of danger posed by an article or substance, of each class or division, is expressed by the Packaging Group, using Roman numerals as follows:

Packing Group I: High danger

• Packing Group II: Medium danger
  
• Packing Group III: Low danger
  

Criteria have been developed for the determination of packaging groups to the following classes / divisions: 3, 4, 5.1, 6.1, 8 and some of Class 9
